The result is an infinitely divided main stem, with ; two large minibrots. The scene of today's image lies between ; the East Valley areas of these two minibrots, very near the ; negative X-axis. ; ; The overall impression the image left with me is one of a crazy ; rail yard, with tracks running in all directions, an effect that ; is very common in fractals with divided main spikes. After much ; meditation about railroading, I named the image "On the Right ; Track". ; ; The rating of 7-1/2 includes a half point bonus for the extra ; work I put into the coloring. My humility prevents me from ; awarding myself more. ; ; The calculation time of 1-5/6 minutes will pass swiftly once the ; top edge of the image appears, with all its deep blues and ; brilliant oranges. And things will get only better as the scan ; moves down the screen. ; ; But to totally avoid calculation, view the completed image on ; the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; View it in high-definition at: ; ; ; ; Many more images may be found on the original FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Foul weather spoiled things here at Fractal Central today, with ; drizzle all morning and rain in the afternoon. The temperature ; of 45F +7C was chilly enough to keep things totally miserable. ; The fractal cats disapproved of the wet conditions, and turned ; their attention to examining a new easy chair that arrived this ; morning. The humans had a reasonably normal day, with nothing ; of note to report. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. The postings are ; scheduled to continue through the Thanksgiving holiday with no ; breaks, since fractals take no holidays. Of course, if the ; unexpected happens, we might miss a day. Come what may, until ; next time, take care, and be aware of subtle differences. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= On_the_Right_Track { ; time=0:01:50.31 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.999567859885/+0.00047736902/4.3e+007\ /1/85/0 params=-1/1.01/1/2/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1250 inside=0 logmap=133 periodicity=6 colors=00002H03I04J05J05K05L05L05K05I05E04A000000u\ eIubIu`IuYKuVKuSKuQKsOLsMLsIKsGJsBJs9Is6Hs4Hs1Gq3G\ p2Fn2El3Dl3Dk3Ci4Cg3Bg3Be4Ad49a48`58X58V48R56Q56N5\ 6K66H54G54gW4yz6qz4jz4cz3Yv2Ss1Mp1Gm0Bi06g02f00c00\ e01f12h43i63l84pA4rC5tF6tH6uJ6uL6n73_0AUCDPPMUpSSi\ TNdVHYYEVz3LeAUn8Qw5OzJMzDMz7L`0zc1zc1zd0ye0ue0qf0\ nh0ki0gk0el0cn0ap0Zs1Yu2Ww2Uy2Rz3Qz3Ng_igTekPdnK`q\ HYuDVy9Rz6O00p11k60eA0`F0YL0UR0Q_0Pi0Ns1MFHNIILIGJ\ IFJLDJOCLSBLX9M_8Ld8Mg7Ll6Mq6Mu4Lz4Laufcpedldeiece\ cbbbYYYYYY_ZZ`ZYdZZeXXgTViQTlOTnMSpJQqHQsDOwBOy9Nz\ 7Nz5M_00i03s1Brxztuzrrwolslfni`ilXinTfpNcsK`uGYwCU\ z9Sz6OOC3RC4SC6VC7XB8YB8`BAbABd9Cg9Di9Dl8Fn8Fp7Gs6\ Hu5Hw4Jz4Kz3MlAzl8zl8ym6um6qn6nn4zp4zq5zs4zu4zw4zw\ 3zy3zz4zz3zz3zzDzzBzzBzzAzzAzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUz\ zUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzpUzqUzqUzsUzsUzuUzuUzwUzwUzyUzyU\ zzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUz } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
